DescriptionMafenide is a sulfonamide-type antimicrobial agent used to treat severe burns. It acts by reducing the bacterial population present in the burn tissue and promotes healing of deep burns.[L36773] In 1998, mafenide acetate was approved under the FDA’s accelerated approval regulations. In November 2022, the use of mafenide acetate (powder for 5% topical solution) was withdrawn by the FDA due to an unresolved confirmatory study required to fulfill the accelerated approval requirements.[L44251]
